Watermark Global plc was initially, listed on AIM in February 2006 as Microfuze International plc (MFZ).

In February 2008, MFZ changed its name to Watermark Global PLC to reflect its focus on developing innovative environmental solutions in water management with a key focus on Acid Mine Drainage in South Africa. In addition, it has development core-competence in the field of project management, plant management and the development of water management strategies for companies with waste water problems.


The Company’s flagship project is the Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) project in South Africa. The company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Western Utilities Corporation (Pty) ltd. (“WUC”) has procured a water treatment technology and commercialisation entity for application in a Government mandated AMD clean-up program in South Africa. This technology, which concluded its ”proof of concept” stage in October 2008, with completion of the Definitive Feasibility in November 2009, is purpose-specific processing of AMD and was developed in conjunction with the mines to meet legislated Government directive requirements. The water will be treated, transported and sold back into industry to reduce dependence on the expensive and limited potable water reserves. The immediate market for the treated water is assured through the direct participation of the implicated mining companies in the project, but only accounts for approximately a third of the AMD produced from the three basins. The additional water, which is not consumed by industry, will be converted into potable water which could be distributed to a bulk service provider, or used to augment stressed river systems.


The development of the AMD project has led to a number of opportunities, including the management of significant water treatment facilities, the development of waste water management strategies, as well as the project management of upgrade projects for mines participating in the AMD project and other industrial water users.

Get em while you can guys,they will be in revenues from the coal briquette project in a matter of weeks now and this is already trading at a whacking discount.DYOR

signs of a big buyer lurking here guys

minerales what do you make of the coal project?

I took a nice lump of these last week on the dip :-)

alex take a look at the MRI document as it has some very detailed costings on
the coal briquette project and the profit forecasts looks very good indeed.

bob i came across a presentation on MRI posted on other forum today,things are
looking rather interesting here!


http://www.trinityam.co.za/trinityam/pdf/MRI_marketing_presentation_30072012_JS.pdf

alex36,super find on the presentation!

Some steady buys today and buy price rising

slowly slowly does it,as i said a few days ago this will be attracting some serious
investors soon when the story gets out.

minerales i thought that gave a super insight to the value here and at over a 100%
discount to its net asset value this has a significant re-rate coming.

Have also been in touch with MRI,s nomad who are sending me some additional
documents in next few days.

nice work alex,let us know if you get any more relevant info please

alex36 have been keeping an eye on this one and think it could well be a cracker
with their 40% stake in MRI.Who could well land some huge contracts in not too
distant future.

glen howarth,the AMD contracts are said to be multi - billion rand in value

Potentially significant development
